Think Janet Yellen has an easy job? The San Francisco federal reserve has published a web game to let you see how smart you really are. In the game your job is to keep inflation in check and unemployment low by adjusting short term interest rates.

It will not present you with the challenges of dealing with government shutdowns, poor tax policies, or financial meltdowns, but it will provide you some entertainment as you learn the basics.
